Vending machine at Allegheny County Jail offers books to kids visiting loved ones

A vibrant machine at the Allegheny County Jail is catching a lot of eyes.

"It has beautiful colors, and it talks to you," said Connie Clark, deputy warden for programs and services at the Allegheny County Jail.

So much so that it drew Kylie Vargo's kids over.

"As soon as they walked in, they wondered what was in there," said Vargo, a parent.

Usually, people expect one of these machines to pop out a soda.

"They're used to looking at snacks and them," Vargo said.

But this time? Books are the draw.

"It's very thoughtful to have something like that," Vargo said.

"We wanted to make this space more engaging for children," Clark said.

"For anyone to have a loved one that's incarcerated, it's a really stressful situation," Clark said. "They have an opportunity to have a more positive experience here at the jail and with our correctional officer staff."

And maybe during that experience, they learn to love reading, too.

"Books change lives and getting more books in the hands of kids? I think we're all better off in the long run," Williams said.

Lane said that there will be another machine going in soon. The next location will be at the Allegheny County Family Court on Ross Street.

Democratic challenger defeats Pittsburgh mayor in a primary after a clash over the party's future

Allegheny County Controller Corey O’Connor defeated Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey in the city’s hotly contested Democratic mayoral primary, The Associated Press projected Tuesday, after a race that garnered national attention as a notable proxy fight between progressives and center-left Democrats.

With more than 96% of the vote in, O'Connor led Gainey 53%-47% in the nominating contest.

In a statement, Gainey said that while the defeat "isn’t what we hoped for, our people-powered movement in Pittsburgh is stronger than it’s ever been before thanks to every person who was part of this campaign to build a city for all."

"And that means Corey O’Connor must be ready to carry forward the transformational progress the people of this city demand and that he promised in his campaign," Gainey added. "The progress my administration delivered on affordable housing, policing, and community investments set a new bar that Corey will be expected to build upon."

“From the bottom of my heart — thank you, Pittsburgh," his statement continued. "Let’s keep fighting for each other.”
